FJR Commander, my first trip there was 2013 on a WCR ride. What a blast! It was in Crawford Bay then, about an hour north of Creston. Absolutely gorgeous. I'm riding out with my oldest son & 2 neighbours of mine to try out the Creston site. It's right on the edge of town, so it won't be quite as...

Anyone else riding to the KGB in Creston this year?

Wow! This has been silent for ages! I've moved since my last WCR (2013) & have all new roads to explore. Am planning a trip thru the Duffy Lake road from North Vancouver on my way home in early July with my oldest son. I'm going to the Kootenay Gut Buster at their new Venue in Creston, BC at the...

Ack! Scheduling conflict! I wish I could go, but I'll be down at the coast visiting friends & family, then blowing right by there on my way to the Kootenay Gut Buster for the July 24& 25! Busy times trying to make up got 5 months of snowed in! Have fun all!

Hi Barb! Ltns! How are you folks? I'd be interested in a mainland cruise, not big on those over-priced cruise ships you folks are stuck with! I'm off the the Kootenay Gut Buster Comedy festival at Crawford Bay again this year, July 24 & 25. It's a hoot & a half & there are LOTs of exciting ways...

Ok, I am having a good day today! When I synced the throttles the other day, I got too caught up in the actual vacuum generated. As I've since discovered, that's somewhat irrelevant. I read through my service manual thoroughly & the manual said, & I quote: on page 3-9 "If the air screw was...

Maybe it's the Yamalube. I stay away from factory oil/fluids & use Motul full synthetic in the engine & final drive. Of course the mineral oil that was changed out until the break-in period was over was pretty gross, but now the engine/gear oil comes out in pretty fine shape & I get the added...

C'mon folks! Riding season is here! Some of us need a bit of advance notice to squeeze a ride over to the island into our busy touring season! Barb! When are we invited?!

Hey! You posted pix of me too! ;)

Hey, a visit from family is a valid excuse Mark! ;) It is too bad their timing was off though, it was a hoot! We even had room for 1 more in the chalet! Next year. Another run somewhere this summer sounds good. I have a good excuse next week for several days, my grandsons are coming to visit...

Holy cr*p those mosquitos loved me! I'm really glad I bunked with KamAl in a chalet! I'd have been trapped in a 4' tall tent other wise! In spite of the bugs it was 1 heck of a fun weekend! I'm going again next year! :)

Thanks Al! You got more than I did! I had a fantastic time there, as well as getting there & home again. I agree that Marija was often funnier than many of the comics! You made a good rommate too! Here's a few that I managed to take: Cory Harding Marija & Santa! Marija & Shadowstalk...

YAY! Only 4 more sleeps until KBB 2013!

@ Griff Again, it sounds fantastic! Unfortunately my disagreement with cancer 2.5 years ago has left me with a digestive tract that won't even allow a coffee anymore, let alone a fine beer & some natchos. I appreciate the gesture, but will have to enjoy it all vicariously through the rest of...

I'm staying in New Denver (I love that little town) Thursday, will roll into KBB around noon Friday. As Al said, I'm one of those "whacko" vegans Griff, but thanks anyway, I'm sure it's great! Old age is definately setting in here, I've just recently realized that what I still call camping...
